Good one. Figured out long ago that chasing glam rags is a fool's errand. Our job is to discover truth and disseminate it. Everything else is a wasteful distraction. *dissemination has been practically free for the last 30 years thanks to the Internet.

We have three neuroscience research software engineering jobs available at @sainsburywellcome.bsky.social, two joint with the Advanced Microscopy Facility. All positions start ASAP, funded until Sept 2028 in the first instance. Salary £54-64k. More details: neuroinformatics.dev/get-involved

Our London-based imaging facility is currently looking for a research software engineer to help develop analysis pipelines for spatial omics. Job advert accessible via our homepage: swcmicroscopy.com Our Neuroinformatics facility also hiring for related roles: neuroinformatics.dev

😂 Avoid Springer Nature - until they adopt fair business practices like paying for all labour they need for their (apparently) premium service. DYK only two people own half of the company?

How can we make sure community software projects that are delivering value are worth looking after from the developers' perspective? I've always found that being paid is highly motivating. Now there is a fair way for users to help developers keep going: @beancounter.ch

Taking (paid) requests to make enhancements to @bonej.org. What would make it better for you? Contact me for a quote.

📢 Release alert! BoneJ ulna-r10 brings much anticipated ROI support to Area/Volume Fraction. TV (TA) = pixel volume (area) in the ROI BV (BA) = foreground pixel volume (area) in the ROI Thanks to Sandra Shefelbine at Northeastern for commissioning development of this much-requested enhancement.

👀ICYMI: "Open source can be a powerful part of that answer. But if we care about open research, we should care just as much about the human experience of reuse as we do about the licence." #OpenResearch #OpenScience

Lasers cut precisely and without contact – ideal for surgery. But in hard tissues such as bone, they are too slow and do not cut deep enough. Researchers led by Dr. Ferda Canbaz have now reported a breakthrough: They achieved cutting depths of up to 4.5 centimeters using a novel laser beam profile.

So essays - like other ways of testing knowledge and understanding - should not yield to AI slop. But they are vulnerable, because of the nature of the medium. A wise student, however, should see an essay question as an opportunity to explore, and not a chore to complete.

Yes and no. We focus on MDPI-Frontiers because if you drew a random SI you'd have a 70%+ chance of it being from them. But we also highlight that across all SIs at BMC, Springer, Roy Soc there's *similar* amounts of PISS. Delegating trust to guest editors has costs & should be done responsibly.

One of the "exciting" things about GPU development is all the funny quirks that hardware vendors come up with that keep life interesting. Wrt. OpenCL support AMD is the most compliant and predictable; NVIDIA is mostly OK but a bit odd sometimes; Intel lacks useful things for science like FP64.

Swiss Breeding Bird Monitoring dataset is now openly accessible! The team from @vogelwarte.bsky.social made the long-term dataset of the Swiss CBM program (“Monitoring Häufige Brutvögel”, MHB) freely available under CC-BY 4.0 licence. esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

The licence you put on your work needs to sustain your ability to continue it. Otherwise it's self-defeating and you'll be taken advantage of.

It's totally normal for funders to provide restricted funds that are earmarked for specific activities. It's very unusual to extend restrictions to *all* the recipient's activities, beyond the scope of the funding. Today it's DEI, tomorrow it could be anything else.
